Real-Time Ethereum Proving is here.

INTRODUCING: SP1 Hypercube 2/ Real-time Ethereum proving marks a historic moment in the ZK space race.

The ability to prove mainnet Ethereum blocks in <12 seconds has major implications for the L1’s scalability roadmap.

The Succinct Network Architecture and the $PROVE Token

The network is a marketplace that connects provers and requesters for ZK proof generation, implemented as a high performance verifiable application.

The PROVE token enables payments, secures the network, and incentivizes provers. 2/ Last year, we introduced the Succinct Prover Network in our whitepaper.

We laid out the need for a protocol that creates the world’s largest, most efficient proving cluster and proves the world’s software. We’re now making it a reality.

The Succinct Ecosystem page is live.

Check out what our amazing partners are building with SP1 and the Succinct Network. 2/ Our partners are leading teams across the industry, from rollups to DeFi and Bitcoin.

1/ @LidoFinance is upgrading their protocol to use ZKPs.

SP1 will soon help secure over $28B of staked ETH by augmenting Lido’s oracles with verifiably computed validator statistics. 2/ Lido, the most used Liquid Staking Token (LST), currently relies on offchain oracles to compute the daily $stETH rebase.

This is done offchain because the required data is not easily accessible in the EVM. Computing it naively requires >1M hashes and bigint additions.

We solved ZK rollups. 2/ INTRODUCING: OP Succinct

Over the past few months, we collaborated closely with the @OPLabsPBC team to build OP Succinct, a seamless way to upgrade any OP Stack chain to use ZKPs in 1 hour.

The future of ZK rollups is here.

Introducing SP1 GPU, a next-generation prover for SP1.

SP1 GPU brings a 10x reduction in cost and latency, another critical step towards making ZK accessible to any developer 👇 Today, SP1 achieves state of the art performance based on our precompile-centric architecture, which reduces zkVM cycle-count substantially for real-world workloads.

SP1 GPU is another phase shift in SP1's performance, driving down cost and latency by another 10x.

1/ We are excited to announce Succinct Processor 1 (SP1), our first generation, 100% open-source zkVM that proves arbitrary Rust programs.

SP1 targets an order of magnitude performance improvement vs. existing zkVMs, and is already up to 28x faster for certain programs. Blog:

2/ The future of programmable truth is normal code. Performant, general-purpose zkVMs like SP1 will disrupt the status quo of one-off, custom proving stacks, and create a future where all blockchain infra uses ZKPs via maintainable Rust code.blog.succinct.xyz/introducing-sp…

We're excited to introduce Telepathy, the first decentralized and secure zkSNARK interoperability protocol for Ethereum.

Read Ethereum state on any chain with the security of Ethereum's light client protocol.

Live on Mainnet today. For the first time, Ethereum bridge security does not depend on a multisig or an optimistic fraud system. Instead, it directly verifies Ethereum validator signatures in a zkSNARK. Proof of consensus enables interoperability without compromise. Read more: blog.succinct.xyz/blog/telepathy

Today, 10s of billions of dollars flow through bridges functionally secured by multisigs. This is unacceptable & must change.

At @succinctlabs we believe the future of interoperability is proof-based: blog.succinct.xyz/post/2022/09/2…. Read more to learn about what we're up to 🧵 1/ Over the past few months, we've been hard at work at Succinct Labs working on the future of interoperability. Some of you might have seen our talks and today we're releasing a blogpost with the ideas that we've been presenting. Summary below...
